A thief who had been arraigned in
court for stealing . bolt of cloth sought
to mitigate his punishment By saying:
"Your honor should take into consid-
Grafton the fact that, while I could
have stolen two bolts. / only took one. 4
Certainly, : replied the court, .I see

SCIENTIFIC SCRAP


A new absorbent preparation Is made
from the coeoanut fibre. It is called
cofferdam, and will hold like q sponge
from twelve to fourteen times its own
weight of water.
A system of standard time, SIMILAR to
that now prevailing foriailway purposes
in this country, will probably be adopted
| by the Norwegian parliament. The time
for the whole Of Norway wi be one hour
in advance of that of the Greenwich OBJ
servatory in Englan1.
Prof. Jaeger claims that the odor OF q
camel's hair, which is so distinguishable,
has a most beneficial use. He asserts
that it produces slecp in persons suffering
from insomnia, and he advises them to
sleep on pillows covered with cameps
hair and stuffed with hair.
For some time past experiments have
been made in Germany with compost
ton of cork, sand and lime moulded into
bricks for the construction of light par
tition walls. This, it is sal |, excludes
sound better than b%rickwork, and is
also light and a good on-cond uctor OF
heat.
It seems strange that out OF moro than
100, 900 species of plants known to
botanists only about $50 have been put
to use by man; yet this proportion Is
much greater than in the annual world,
from which only 200 species have been
selected, while the animal kingdom
reckons millions of species.
Sohneke states that the electricity
which is discharged during a thunder
storm is produced by the friction of
water and ice, that is, that the ice is
electrified by friction Of water. Just
before a thunderstorm w~ater-clouds and
ice-c.ou1s appear simultaneously in the
sky. The friction of these particles Of
ice and water is asuffic:ent cause of the
electricity which is generated.
Amercurial ON ,ter held In the
suns rays, and not 10 contact with any
other body, will show but little rise in
temperature, the radiant heat being re-
fected from the bright surface of the
mercury, like light from a mirror. But,
if the bulb be coated with lampblack or
some absorbent heat, a rise in temrera-
ture will be Indicated at once. So the
heat rays from the sun may be passed
through a lens of ice, AMI concentrated
TO a sufficient degree TO ignite combusti-
bles placed at the focus, without melting
the ice of which the leas is formed.

Miss Clara Cushman of Boston, who
has recently returned from missionary
work in China, has established a number
of schools in Pekin for Chinese girls.
She says the girls are very apt scholars.
and that $50 are required to support and
instruct one child for q year. The
children chant their lessons in a curious
sing-song tone, and the noise made by a
hundred Of these seekers after knowledge
is frightful. Seven hundred girl infants
who had been thrown into the streets of
Pekin by their parents were rescued in
one year BY Catholic missionaries. Miss
Cushman says that an American sewing
machine Is known in Pekin as the '.iron
failor.n

General Sheridan has a sunny corner
room in the new War Department build
ing in Washington, fitted up with furni-
turc Of his W choosing. Several cabi-
nets are filled with Indian pottery and
s urios, and the walls are covered with
paintings Of Western scenery with buffa-
los and Indians in the foreground. Black
Kettles war belt is as dear to him as a
pcachblow vase, and a Sioux war cub is
the chief treasure in the collection.

Charles L. Brown, one of the best known
characters on the Chicago board of trade,
hoated in on the floor yesterday to the sur
prise of everybody. Mr.. Brown, who is
popularity known among the boys as FOghorn
Brown. has not seen the state of Minnesota
since 1872, and he says he is thunder struck
at the size and importance of the Twin
Cities. He is on some mysterious errand, he
says, in connection with corn, but this is gen.
orally doubted. His love for the fair sex
showed up strong yesterday, for wherever he
sat the conversation around him was lurid on
the subject of chippies.
The old complaint of the farmers is still
heard; they can't get enough cars and some
kicking is under way as it seemsdiscrimina-
ton is made between the farming class and
the elevator men in favor of the latter. What

now they are 0nly running about. 0 carsin
